we might actually be able to have zepplins and vehicles without rotors!

The Patch already supports this, it's just that nobody has bothered to draw any.

Why doesn't someone just use the zepplin disaster graphic and base it on that?

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 07 Mar 2004 00:35

I think because the zeppelin disaster graphic only points one way, you'll note that the zeppelin goes in a diagonal straight line. In fact, if you see it coming and look at a map, you can deduce what airport it's going to crash at.

You could take that zeppelin graphic and rework if, drawing the rest of the sprites to make it a vehicle, and Dinges could include it in the Planeset.

That's exactly how Ludde did it. He basically took the disassembly and rewrote it in C.

I knew that but the other views could be based on it.

Hm, I'm beginning to understand.

So, what we have here is indeed a fully functional and correct TTD remake (theoretically without bugs) and with a source code that is more or less the same as the original one's? Wow!

Anyway, talk about zeppelins can go in the TTDPatch Graphics forum, this is for OpenTTD.

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 07 Mar 2004 00:46

Sorry orudge.

Krtaylor, I can only know how to make sprites out of tg1r, not make new grfs

anyway, since we have a big ball of plasticine, where can we find the moulders

(open ttd and c programmers) )

Well, that is good news. First of all, we don't need to nag Mr. Saywer for the original (assembly) source, and second... the entire signalling/routing system is in there, and all the original values for industry behaviour/town behaviour/ratings, etc...

Noticed something funny though; if you draw a track over some trees, it doesn't remove the trees automatically

And AI has become even more stupid. Building some maglev line, with normal rail depots and normal rail stations.

it gives some kind of a serious error when i try to run the file; it tells me submit a report as it will help the developers

Dinges · Post by **Dinges** » 07 Mar 2004 10:52

I can say one thing: I need a patch

Post by **orudge** » 07 Mar 2004 13:31

Just be patient, it'll all come eventually.

wow... good stuff... I love playing around with code even if I don't know the language =p

I love this:

Code: Select all

Command line options: 
  -v drv = Set video driver (see below) 
  -s drv = Set sound driver (see below) 
  -m drv = Set music driver (see below) 
  -8     = Use 800x600 resolution 
  -1     = Use 1024x768 resolution 
  -h     = Display this help text 
  -d date= Set starting date 
  -l lng = Select Language 
  -e     = Start Editor 
List of video drivers: 
      null: Null Video Driver 
       sdl: SDL Video Driver 
List of sound drivers: 
      null: Null Sound Driver 
       sdl: SDL Sound Driver 
List of music drivers: 
      null: Null Music Driver

For easier use:

I made these for newest release i don't know are these files are suitable for older.

Copy them to your "EXE" or "COMPACT" directory.

How long the rewriting of original TTD took?

Jup, this is what I've been dreaming about for like... since I first started playing TT. Sweet... overview...

Will all TTD programming now move to OpenTTD, will The Patch be reprogrammed to OpenTTD? Will MB make his graphics for OpenTTD from now on?
I do hope so! This offers so many posiibilities. I might even try to learn C because of this...
